About Wainwrights Pictorial Guide - Book 3: Central Fells Alfred Wainwrights - A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells: Book Three (3), The Central Fells: Being an Illustrated Account of a Study and Exploration of the Mountains in the English Lake District.
Alfred Wainwrights much loved pictorial guides to the fells of the Lake District have long been an institution in hill walking. For over 50 years, his incredible knowledge of the area and keen eye for detail have made exploring the Lakes a less daunting and more enjoyable task. Now, and for the first time, the Wainwright Estate have granted Chris Jesty permission for a sensitive process of updating to ensure that all the diagrams and descriptions are still as accurate and precise as A.W. was himself.
Book Three: The Central Fells, details some of the most popular fells between Ambleside and Keswick, including the rightfully famous Langdale valley, home of Harrison Stickle, Pike O' Stickle and Pavey Ark as well as some of the lower and less known peaks like Walla Crag, Raven Crag and Gibson Knott. It also features one of A.W's favorite shorter walks up to Helm Crag, or The Lion And The Lamb.
